Inforce Computing launched 6309 micro single board computer powered by Snapdragon 410 processor, and compatible with 96Boards Dragon 410c board, a little over a year ago. The company has sent a newsletter promoting the launch of cost-down version with long term support equipped with Snapdragon 410E processor, and named Inforce 6309L.

Both boards are pretty similar, except Inforce 6901L replaced the HDMI port with a mico HDMI port, and adds a MIPI CSI header. Cost down have been achieved by removing Ethernet, the PoE header, LVDS, and the optional interface for RS-485, as well as offering the SBC with commercial temperature grade (0 to 70 °C) by default. Some of the specifications not mentioned in the table include the supported voltage range (7-24V DC input), the presence of an RTC, and the signal on the expansion header: 1x I2C, 1x SPI, 1x I2S, 2x UART, and 20x GPIOs.
The board is available now starting at the price of $85 for a minimum order quantity of 100 units. More details can be found on Inforce 6309L product page. Note that while the page indicated the board comes with a “quad-core Snapdragon 410E processor which has a 10-year supply commitment from Qualcomm”, Inforce did not make any explicit commitment for the board.
